Chapter 115: I’m Here
Her companion was only one person, the carriage driver... The poor man was basically forced by her. She had to do this... And being a five year old child who was not taken seriously, she had to use her status to threaten him.
"So, you found it." A voice echoes from behind. It was menacing and oozing with mockery at the same time.
The voice sent a shiver down her spine. She froze for a moment, her body tense with dread. That voice... It was unmistakable. But how could it be? She forced herself to turn, her eyes widening as they confirmed her fear.
Standing in the doorway, the Duke looked at her with a twisted smile, his gaze cold and calculating. He must have followed her in, watching and waiting as she uncovered the truth.
There was one obstacle though... The carriage driver, for someone as lowly as him where did he get the courage to obstruct him, the Duke? So... He got rid of him, he will get rid of everything that stood in his way.
He had Alice killed but this was the first time he did it himself, he went all the way to hide this truth, and there was nothing left for him to lose. He will do whatever it takes...
The realisation made her heart pound faster, and her grip on the birth certificate tightened instinctively. He had seen everything. She quickly got off the chair and hid behind it as if it could protect her.
He also saw that white glowing chair, but this was not the time to get answers to all of his questions, he needed that piece of paper! He could not let her get away with Everett’s birth certificate!
Then she noticed something... The faint glow from the holy chair in front of her. This gave her an idea, an insane and possibly impossible idea!
